He and Hurt returned to the mansion.

　Hurt went to return the basket of food to Tina, and then he said he was going shopping with Tina.

　I'm not interested in shopping, so I decide to leave Halt and just hang out in the mansion.

　As I walk around the house looking for a place to sleep, I find Yoko taking a nap in the courtyard.

　It looks like today is the day that Yoko has no housekeeping duties.

　There's a tree in the middle of the courtyard where Yoko is sleeping with her back to the trunk of the tree.

　It looks pretty good there too.

　I'm right next to the tree, but she seems to be sleeping very soundly and doesn't wake up.

　Hmm, I'll sleep here too.


　Hmm?

　It's kind of like being sucked up by magic. When I looked at the flow of magic power, I saw that Yohko had absorbed the magic power that leaked out of me.

"Come to think of it, he's a nine-tailed fox.

　When a powerful nine-tailed fox goes out of control, it is feared as a type of natural disaster in this world.

　It has an enormous amount of magical power, overwhelming firepower, illusionary magic and brainwashing magic.

　It is said that the magical power stored in one tail can destroy a country.

　There are nine of them.

　Once a nine-tailed fox starts to rampage, unless it is defeated, nine countries will be destroyed.

　Even if they were to be defeated, they would have to have the strength of a transferable hero to compete with them.

　Also, unlike the Demon King who is created by evil gods on an irregular basis, the Nine Tailed Foxes are treated as a natural disaster because they occur spontaneously in this world on a regular basis.

　I once fought a nine-tailed fox under the command of a god, but it was an extremely troublesome enemy.

　They have an endless supply of magic and power, and even brainwashed the people I am supposed to be protecting into attacking me.

　Of course, I won the battle.
　But they are a nasty demon race.

　If you find a nine-tailed fox, you have to kill it before it grows up.

　I saw Yoko sleeping peacefully.

　Even now, she is collecting magic from her surroundings and storing it in her tail.

　It's the third one I've had.

　I think it's because I'm with Hurt, who uses an enormous amount of magic power, that Yohko's magic power accumulation speed is fast.

　Normally, it takes about a thousand years for a nine-tailed fox to become a full-bodied fox, but judging from Yoko's current age and the amount of magic she has accumulated, she'll probably have another hundred years or so to accumulate her magic.

　......Do you want to kill it now?

　I have a role to play in protecting this world.

　The nine-tailed fox that kills so many humans and destroys nature must be defeated.

　He bared his fangs at Yoko.


　With a huff, Hurt's face passed.

　For what it's worth, Hurt also cares about Yoko.

　He says she's part of the family.

　If I kill my Yoko here, Haruto might get sad.

　He might be angry with me.

"No, no," he said. It doesn't have to be now. If she goes out of control, I will take care of her.

　I have the power.

　No need to give Halt grief.
　I will help you in your time of need.

　So, I've decided.

"Don't go out of control. Don't let Halt be unhappy.

　I tried to talk to her, but she remained the same asleep.

　I felt sleepy, too.
　I got on Yoko's legs as she slept on her knees.

It looks like a good place to sleep, so let's sleep here.　Is that okay?

　Of course, there was no answer.
　Well, I guess that means it's okay.

　The body is completely in between Yoko's legs.
　Hmm, it's quite comfortable.


　The magic power that leaked out of me is still being absorbed by Yohko.

　I'm a divine beast, so the magic power is endlessly flowing out of my body.

　Normally I try to keep my magic power down so that it doesn't affect the people around me, but I have to release it every once in a while or else it makes my body feel itchy.

　I've not used a lot of magic power lately.

　It's just right.
　I'll let Yoko suck it off.

　I rolled up my body between Yoko's legs and fell asleep.


　The same goes for you.

"Hmmm, hmmm, I slept well. Hmm? ...What the hell, White?

　When Yoko woke up, Shiro was asleep, curled up between his legs.

'This guy, when?'

　He didn't seem to notice because White wasn't very heavy.

'He sleeps well. ...It's no use, I'll let him sleep some more.

　Yoko was lying in a sitting position, her body was stiff, so she tried to stretch.

　She didn't move her legs so as not to wake White, but only stretched her upper body.

''──Hmm?''

　Yoko noticed something strange about her body.

　That body had clearly grown compared to the one before she started napping.

''Well, no way...''

　Yoko checks the tail.

　All nine tails were filled with magical power.

　This is because while he was sleeping, he unconsciously continued to suck the magic power that Shiro, the divine beast, was pouring out.



　The nine-tailed fox is a creature that lives to collect magic power on its tail and become a perfect body.

　After becoming a perfect body, they rage until their magic power is exhausted.

　That is the kind of people they are.

It's a wonder. I thought that my consciousness would disappear once I had accumulated magic power, but is it because of this?

　Yoko looks at the back of her right hand. There was the magic circle of the master and servant contract made with Harut.

　The precious magic power that Yoko had accumulated over two hundred years, the equivalent of two tails.

　As a result of spending the magic power of one of them, he had succeeded in creating a strong connection between him and Haruto.

　That connection had prevented Yoko from running off.

''At any rate, now I too can help Halt!

　Yoko was delighted.

　Nine-tailed foxes are not very strong until they accumulate magic power.

　The only way to fight them was to increase the number of subordinates under their control, mainly through brainwashing magic.

　However, right now Yoko was different.

　At least, she has obtained enough power to take on and overwhelm several flame knights.

''Is it because of you that I didn't go out of control?

　Yoko gently stroked Shiro, who was sleeping between her legs.

　When the nine-tailed fox absorbs magic power, it also absorbs the negative aura around it, so its mind is tainted with evil.

　However, the magic power stored in Yohko's tail is equivalent to two of Harut's and six of Shiro's magic power, and the magic power containing the negative aura is only enough for one tail.

　This was another factor that prevented Yohko from going out of control, and Yohko had somehow noticed it too.

''Thank you, White,''

　As a matter of fact, White was going to close it up and go to sleep after releasing some magic power.

　Otherwise, it would speed up the growth of the nine-tailed fox.

　However, he inadvertently fell into a sound sleep with his magic power dripping out, and Yohko kept absorbing his magic power.

　As a result, Yohko went out of control and changed the future of many countries to be destroyed...


　Neither Yoko nor White could have known that.
